2007 Ebbtide 39

Design and Purpose This is a true adventure yacht, designed to go anywhere and keep going. Often described as a “bulletproof” yacht, she is very much the 4×4 of the sea. Built for reliability and safety, she offers confidence in demanding conditions while remaining manageable for a couple or family crew. Design and Construction Designed by Alan Pape, built by Moroven Yachts, and fitted out by Terry Erskine Yachts, the hull was constructed in 2001 and the yacht commissioned in 2007. A major refit between 2010 and 2012 further enhanced her capability, systems, and overall condition. Because of this careful development, she presents as a serious expedition yacht rather than a lightly adapted cruiser. Handling and Onboard Layout On deck, the yacht feels solid, purposeful, and business-like, with a layout clearly designed for safe operation in remote and challenging environments. At the same time, she remains comfortable at sea and easy to crew, which makes her suitable for adventurous private ownership rather than professional crew only. Interior and Liveability Below deck, the atmosphere changes to something more welcoming and practical. The interior is designed to support long periods aboard, offering comfort, warmth, and security after hard days at sea. This balance between strength and liveability is one of her standout qualities. Expedition History ‘Wild Rover VI’ has a proven recent expedition history, including voyages to the Shetland Isles, Greenland, the Faroes, and Iceland. This real-world use underlines her capability and confirms that she is not a theoretical expedition yacht, but one that has genuinely been there and back. Condition and Location She has recently undergone a full professional repaint, including topsides, decks, and antifouling, and now presents extremely well. The yacht is currently afloat in Falmouth and ready for her next adventure.
